Always suspecting the sales hype, so want to verify the claims and see if possible where they got their numbers. In this case it is true that 1C with LFP is 4 x faster than with FLA doing depleted to full. ...
The premise is wrong because you have added 'full' as a constraint.
Perhaps you have not fully grasped a point I made in my recent post. To wit, "1. the practically unlimited cycles without any full charges,".
There is
no penalty for partially charging an LFP. All I need to do during a recharge is ensure that the LFP will have enough capacity to last until the time I plan the next charge. There is no 'full' goal.
I could revise the former test as:
Cycle the LFP at 10% - 50% and the FLA at 10% - 50%. Do this until the FLA dies. What do you believe would happen to the FLA if it were reharged at 10% - 50%. Quick death?
Now, try working your calculations again with valid criteria.
